He’s 5 foot 2 and he’s 6 feet 4 He fights with missiles and with spears  He’s all of 31 and he’s only 17. He’s been a soldier for a thousand years. He’s a catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain A Buddhist, and a Baptist and Jew. And he knows he shouldn’t kill And he knows he always will kill You’ll for me my friend and me for you. And He’s fighting for Canada.  He’s fighting for France. He’s fighting for the USA. And he’s fighting for the Russians.  And he’s fighting for Japan And he thinks we’ll put an end to war this way. And He’s fighting for democracy, He’s fighting for the reds He says it’s for the peace of all. He’s the one, who must decide, who’s to live and who’s to die. And he never sees the writing on the wall. But without him, how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau? Without him Caesar would have stood alone He’s the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war. And without him all this killing can’t go on. He’s the universal soldier  And he really is the blame His orders comes from far away no more. They come from him.  And you and me. And brothers can’t you see. This is not the way we put an end to war…
